Plain words
What this record means and what it does not
The Wage and Hour Division enforces the federal minimum wage, overtime, child labor, family leave and the wage rules on federal contracts and visa programs. Each row above is one investigation the Division closed; of the 14 on this record, 12 ended with a violation found and 2 with none.
Back wages agreed is the amount the employer agreed to pay the workers the Division found were owed, computed at the federal rates: a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour and overtime after 40 hours in a week. Where Maryland has a higher state or local minimum, the same hours would come to more under state law, and that part is not in this file.
The Department flagged 1 case on this record as a repeat violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which raises the penalties it may assess.
This record is federal only. It does not include claims filed with the state labor office, private lawsuits or settlements, so an employer absent from it is not an employer with a clean record, and an employer on it has not been found guilty of anything by a court. Names are written as the Department recorded them, so one business can appear under more than one legal name, and a franchise or branch can sit under its own.
If you are owed wages
Where to file a wage claim in Maryland
In Maryland a wage claim can go to the state: Wage Issues, Having Problems with My Pay, The Maryland Guide to Wage Payment and Employment Standa takes claims under state law, which often covers more than the federal rules. The federal route is the Division's page on how to file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division with what to send and where. The Division also keeps a search of back wages owed to workers it collected and could not deliver.

Where this record comes from
The record comes from the Wage and Hour Division compliance action data published by the U.S. Department of Labor, every concluded investigation since fiscal 2005, snapshot dated April 22, 2026 and read for this page on November 5, 2026. The Wage and Hour Division is the office that made the findings. Figures are printed as the file carries them, a zero included; an investigation with no end date is shown by its start; the county is the one the Census Bureau puts the employer's ZIP code in.
